@whitequark @bascule@mas.to @thisismissem@hachyderm.io

@whitequark @bascule @thisismissem ya, definitely. My "bigger issue" is that people writing native extensions -- including ones written in Rust -- need to grapple with the machine code the compiler generates. C is already famous for being unsafe, but Rust has the same "unsafety" when used in this context despite its fame for being "safe".

@tenderlove @bascule @thisismissem I'm not sure I agree on the concept. Rust is, quite famously, well suitable for embedded devices full of unsafe code--I scrapped my own Ruby-like language that was too much like Rust in favor of pre-1.0 Rust--where you do need to consider the same concerns

interoperability with other languages is in the same area. just like with MCUs, someone needs to implement the interop once and others can (safely!) reuse it later
